World Culture Festival – Kansas 2022 9/10/2022 11:00 AM - 9/10/2022 5:00 PM

Thu, 25 Aug 2022 09:47:17 GMT

The World Culture Festival is a global event series, organized by the Art of Living, that aims to build a more compassionate and harmonious society by bringing the people of the world together in celebration.

Through song, dance, meditation, and dialogue, we share and explore our rich cultural diversity, and honor the underlying spirit that connects us all as one global family.

Why now? The past few years have brought extraordinary challenges to every strata of society. Divisions have been emphasized, and across the globe, feelings of isolation are at an all-time high. The World Culture Festival aims to lift our spirits in celebration and unity, and replace feelings of isolation with a sense of belonging and community; reminding us all that we belong to the same planet, the same spirit, and the same global family ... And that's something worth celebrating.

This event at JCCC will showcase song, dance, dialogue, and food representing our rich cultural diversity.

"President You" with Tom Williams 9/17/2022 2:00 PM - 9/17/2022 3:00 PM

Mon, 22 Aug 2022 12:14:30 GMT

Local author Tom Williams will discuss his book "President You." It asks, "What would you do if elected President?" That’s the dramatic question at the heart of local author Tom Williams’ book, President You: How a Thoughtful Ordinary Citizen Could Change the Most Complex Government on Earth. Fictional president, Augustus Lincoln Treatise, grapples with actual challenges facing America in a detailed and accurate way, but without the heated partisan slant that drives most political discourse today. It presents alternative solutions to some of America’s domestic and international policies that our last few congresses and presidents have been unable, or unwilling, to resolve on our behalf. On Constitution Day, with mid-term elections approaching fast, it is a timely read for reflecting with new urgency on how government could work. After his presentation, Tom will host a Q&A session and the library will give away two signed copies of the book. Afterward, Tom will be available to sign and sell additional copies of his books for $15 (cash purchase only). To attend, please enroll on the library's website.
